Thank you for this new batch and sorry to bother you.
Just to let you know that I have not yet received my February book yet. Should I be concerned?
I wouldn't worry yet - the books come directly from the publishers, and some ship quicker than others. Give it another few weeks..
Thanks Abby - will do!
Just posted review of Gilchrist, "A Dangerous Age," and sent copy to publisher. Need to thank you for the work you do for ER people. . . so, thanks, Abby, we DO appreciate you muchly!
Hi, great list this month.
Can I ask if the book about hebrew, or judaism, could be available in Canada too? Or maybe you aren't the one deciding these details?
Thanks

Unfortunately we don't control it - the publishers decide which countries they can send books to.
LibraryThing,
I could not figure out how to leave my feedback elsewhere. I just logged on and found out that I am not able to add any more books as I have reached the "free limit" of 200 books. To enter more, I must subscribe for a yearly fee (probably auto renews unless I go and explicitly opt-out).
Unfortunately for you, I was not informed about the "free for the first 200 books" limit prior to my spending hours and hours entering the 211 books I could recall off the top of my head I had read. Perhaps your warning was "hidden" or intentionally non-obvious. For me, that is the same as not being informed. For you it is the same effect, I am departing your service.
I have absolutely no intention of paying you for the priviledge of my updating my own list of books. Are you freakin INSANE?! Good luck with your model (ROTFLMAO - still living in the 1990's with your charging models, I can see).
Just to be clear, I have deleted all of my books and intend for my account to go dormant.
Thank you for the great idea. I am saddened you chose to charge the $10 a month. I don't think I am the only client who feels this way. I am just one in a hundred that is vocal about my choice.

For a response to that comment, posted on ten blog posts, despite the fact that ever team member's email is posted on the blog and there are whole groups devoted to feedback, see http://www.librarything.com/blog/2008/03/all-things-considered-does-librarything.php .
